My first Hepatica with full open flowers, 2014-15 season. It is one of my Hepatica henryi fl.pl. almost white, there will come a little pink in the flower later.
-
Hello, looks really interesting look forward to seeing your other Hepaticas, cheers Ian the Christie kind
-
nice to see hepatica blooming so early.
how warm or cold are you keeping this plant, day- nights?
thank you
Rimmer
-
I grow them in a cold greenhouse with doors and windows open, so the temperature is like outside +2-5 degress. When the temperature get lower I hold the temperature about 0 to +2 degress.
-
I have a good news. I am starting Hepatica fans. Last year, managed to sow seeds. I brought my film, and are now looking at the ground. I was very surprised because I saw radicle begins to grow. I hope everything will be fine. Unfortunately, only a few colors in it. Japonica variety is blue.
Then I make sure photo. Please, if you have good advice, you can help me. I would like, if I would own seedling.

Hi Julibrissin and welcome! I hope I understand.
If this is your hepatica seed now, then you must plant it. Seeds 5-10mm apart. Good luck!
-
So I threw away. This is very dense? I land it 1-2 cm
-
1-2cm apart is fine.

Very nice to see the hepatica season starting up with some beauties shown here. Mine are very slow in waking up!
-
Who wants a dozen red roses when you see these cute little hepaticas ;D
Angie :)

Three clones from the cross Hepatica transylvanica Lilacina x japonica(bright pink). I'm hoping they will divide as easily as H. transylvanica. They have the marbled leaves of the japonica parent.
-
This seedling of Hepatica nobilis var japonica gives me lots of flowers (and pleasure) each year !
-
Fine plant, Luc.
-
That's a very nice seedling Luc,I have never had a bi-colour out of hundreds.Was it a specific cross or random ?
Here are some that I hope you will enjoy.They are not quite the harbingers of Spring as that accolade belongs to the aconites/snowdrops but they must be the jewels of the Spring.

Thanks for the praise, John. Coming from you it's most flattering ! ;)
I'm afraid I only had the merit of buying the seedling from Robin White at the Kent AGS show a number of years ago... :D so I cannot help with further information.
A wonderful array of plants you're showing us here yourself though... simply stunning !!
-
Took some time to make some close-ups earlier on ... :D
-
That's a lovely image of your flowers, Luc. You could almost say the one at top left was red! :o
-
It'svery close to being red Matt ! ;D
-
It is just lovely to see the images of beautiful Hepaticas shared by forumists.
I am again amazed at John's collection, particularly the size of their clumps. I almost chuckled at Peppa's question, since we asked John similar questions last year also.
What ever the magic trick he uses, my jaw drops every time I see his collection.
We switch to summer time this weekend in the US, but here in South Eastern Michigan, it will be more than a few weeks for Hepaticas to start moving.

Now that I think about it, I may have been the one who asked John the same question last year... :) But the large healthy clumps always leave me thinking the same thing! ;D

Hepatica americana is blooming in my garden.

Stunning, stunning display, John!!!
And, Peppa, a beautiful clump in a lovely natural setting.

Now that I think about it, I may have been the one who asked John the same question last year... :) But the large healthy clumps always leave me thinking the same thing! ;D
With good plants like the H. americana you showed in your latest post - I think I should be asking you the same question! 8)

Yes, indeed! Nice clump, Peppa.

Hello all the pictures of these Hepaticas are wonderful our season has just started with a few last week quite late but as we had snow over the weekend and on Tuesday little wonder they keep their heads down a few pictures, cheers Ian the Christie kind
-
A few more, Ian
-
Sorry that I have been so late in replying but after posting the pictures my computer crashed and I have only just got it repaired today having lost everything and with no back-up.There's a salutary lesson to all.
However,thanks for your comments everybody,they are most gratifying.There is no secret,I rarely re-pot and never feed.I think they thrive on neglect and it would appear that they do not like being messed about.
It works for me.
-
Sincere sympathies on the loss of your data, John.
-
This normal Hepatica nobilis caught my eye in the garden today, while typing behind my computer I saw this blue cloud constantly from the corner of my eye through the window and it was more than distracting....
-
and I have only just got it repaired today having lost everything and with no back-up.There's a salutary lesson to all.
We've all been in that boat John. I can highly recommend Apple's Time Machine - edit with Time Capsule (the hardware) - as a backup drive. We keep the - edit Time Capsule - in the basement and it backs up wirelessly. Why the basement? It's hidden in case the computer is stolen, you don't want the backup stolen along with it!
I do save forum pix with the forumist'sname attached and 80 have your name attached if you'd like them emailed or burnt and mailed over.
johnw - a wretched cold day here.
-
Thats very kind of you John but my posted pics.are of the least concern as they are repeatable.My main concern is the loss of family pictures over the last ten years that can never be replaced but many thanks all the same.
Any more information on the time machine ?

Sorry to confuse John. Time Machine is actually the Apple programme for backing up with the hardware called Time Caspsule. You can set the interval at which you want things backed up, we have it set to do so every hour, it does so without any interference or slow down.
Ours must be the "old" version as it looks like this: http://gizmodo.com/345045/apple-time-capsule-server-for-wireless-time-machine-backups (http://gizmodo.com/345045/apple-time-capsule-server-for-wireless-time-machine-backups)
Time Capsule now looks like this: https://www.apple.com/ca/airport-time-capsule/ (https://www.apple.com/ca/airport-time-capsule/)
AlanB might be able to explain how with Microsoft products. Beyond my comprehension: http://techsupport.foreverwarm.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/Using-Time-Capsule-with-a-Windows-PC.pdf (http://techsupport.foreverwarm.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/Using-Time-Capsule-with-a-Windows-PC.pdf)

They are fabulous, Maggi ! :o :o :o

Very nice Anne. Is it nobilis or something else?
-
It is a japonica (seedling with petaloid stamens) x pubescens (Tenjinbai).

3. H. maxima
4. Hepatica x schlyteri
-
Very nice, Gunilla!
How cold do you get in the wintr? Do you keep your Hepatica outside in winter?
Koko
-
Thanks Koko. I keep them outside in the winter. Some of them planted in the ground and some in pots in a coldframe. Sometimes it gets really cold -15 or more but only for shorter periods. The two last winters have been very mild with hardly any frost at all.
-
Lovely filled blue nobilis, Gunilla.
-
Congratulations Anne! It looks great. Beautiful plants Gunilla, right now there are many of our Hepatica which bloom and there are also some good new. On the pictures it is a new H. japonica from this year.

VERY full!

-
I am speechless - such beautiful plants, Anne and Gunilla! Here is my contribution:
H. nobilis 'Blaue Elfe' (I think it is the best as far as contrast is concerned)
H. nobilis 'Schneeflocke' - which has really surprised me. I only planted it last year and this year it has 9 flowers. It seems to be a lot more floriferous than 'Alba Plena'
-
These are all plants of the 'Forest Hybrid' series of H. nobilis var. japonica
All were planted out in the garden and have survived the frosts of winter for several years.
-
On the pictures it is a new H. japonica from this year.
It looks like a sweet little cupcake, very tasty :)

Interesting to hear that they have survived outside in your garden. I can't grow H. japonica outside, they don't like the winters here. Maybe there are some hardier species involved in the 'Forest Hybrids' ?
Your 'Schneeflocke is exquisite.
-
Gunilla, I can't grow Japanese Hepatica out in the garden, either. (Murdered one and gave up forever...)
But these Forest Hybrids appear to be something else - they are quite hardy. We had -15 C (without snow) and they survived. And - what's more - they are fairly cheap. www.stauden-stade.de (http://www.stauden-stade.de) sells them for about 7 €.
I looked the Forest Hybrids up in Andreas Händel's book. He says that the parentage of these plants is kept secret (by whom he doesn't say). He believes them to be F1 Hybrids between Japanese liverwort and European Hepatica nobilis or H. acutiloba. They are fertile but the offspring have smaller flowers and less intensive colours. He, too, says they are hardy in his garden (in East Germany where it is far colder than where I live).
-
Hi I'm still new to hepatica growing so my few plants are not as showery as other plants shown on here, but I've managed to get some into flower. The first is H. Japonica, I got this from the plant stall at cyclamen society stall at wisley, loverly White flowers with what looks like blue stamens. The next is H. Pyrenaica with pinky white flowers and loverly marked foliage.

That is bad news for me, I have just some H.japonica germinating, and I was going to plant them outside, but perhaps that is not a good idea :((seeds were bought from Denmark).
I also love 'Schneeflocke', it looks so beautiful!!
-
Hi Leena I wouldn't risk it where you are, luckily they grow just as well in the house or greenhouse.
-
Leena, I don't think it is the cold that kills them, more likely it's the alternation of mild and cold spells when the plants have started to grow. The winters here are often mild and triggers the plants to early growth. Then we usually have really cold periods in February - April, often without any snow for protection. H. transsilvanica and H. nobilis have no problem with the late spring frost but the Japanese hepatica planted outside have all died after a year or two.
John, that's a nice contrast with the blue stamens on your white flower. I'm also very fond of the marked leaves of H. pyrenaica. This variant of Hepatica nobilis grows well outside here and self seeds a lot and they keep their lovely leaves all through the winter.
-
Thanks Gunilla as I said before I an new to hepatica growing, but I am pleased with how my few plants are coming along. I am going to try Pyrenaica outside later see how it goes. I also have a couple of ordinary nobilis growing outside that I got from Jan at green ice nursery in the Netherlands that have started and have loverly blue flowers, I'll post a photo later.

Thank you Gunilla. :) I will try to find a sheltered spot for them (and keep some in pots just in case) where they would not start to grow too early and where there is some protection from frosts. Also here H.nobilis is very hardy and don't mind freezing nights even after it is in bud.
Hepatica nobilis is now almost flowering here, when the next sunny day comes they will open their flowers.

This is very interesting, because last week end there was a big plant show in Stockholm, Sweden, and my sister went there and brought back a souvenier for me: White Forest Hybrid-hepatica. :) It doesn't flower this year, but I'm very excited about it especially in light of what Bolinopsis wrote.
-
A double Hepatica nobilis found in Gotland (Sweden).
-
How beautiful double H.nobilis. :)
You have good soil for it to flower so much.
-
A wonderful form!
-
A double Hepatica nobilis found in Gotland (Sweden).
That's a beautiful double form.
H. nobilis 'Bergfexing' has started to flower here.
-
Very pretty, and it has stamens!
-
I was very busy, so I failed to post a photo of H. x euroasiatica 'Röttgesbütteler Röschen' (a name which must have been chosen for maximum difficulties for English speakers) while it was still in bloom. This hybrid increases slowly but is quite hardy.
H. nobilis 'Schneeflocke' has exceeded my expectations in flower size and beauty.
-
A very beautiful double, Anne.
-
Thank you :)
-
We went last week-end to woods near our house to see Hepatica nobilis flowering and found that they had increased since last year and this was a good year for them. There were different blues and pinks and we found even one white H.nobilis.
My husband had posted couple of pictures of different colored H.nobilis here in the wild in his blog (https://jouniriihela.wordpress.com/2015/05/06/vuokkometsassa/).
-
My compliments to your husband for those fine photos, Leena.
-
Ditto - some lovely photographs there - the cranes in flight, a basking lizard, the mossy forests scenes - all conjure up evocative impressions of your wild places.
-
A dream - - - thank you, Leena!
-
Thanks :), I will tell him.
I had never before seen white H.nobilis here in the woods, and just before we found these a friend gave me a white one which was originally from a place near west coast where more of it grows in my friends parents property.
This has been a very good year for H.nobilis here, though in the edge of my own garden the deer or wild hares had eaten most of the flowers of H.nobilis. :(
-
Loverly photos leena

Does anyone have for exchange or for sale (or know who might sell) double blue or double white H. nobilis? Anne, which nursery supplied yours?

Super variations in foliage, Chris. 8)

Wonderful foliage.
What species these are? The one with yellow edges is WOW.
-
these are all Japanese ones exept H6 these are seedlings from H.nobilis 'Cremar'
-
Thanks. The foliage of H1 is so good that flowers may even spoil it. :)
-
Very beautiful leaves. My hepatica leaves always look very sad at this time of year. How do you keep yours looking so good, Chris?
-
I try to hold the plants in summer not to wet,I remove leafs when I see that they get sick or can others infect. In the garden the leaves are also not so good,
-
Thank you, Chris.
-
Amazing Hepatica collection Chris!
I do apreciate the foliage in Hepaticas as much as I do the flowers (maybe even a little more...). They provide such a long decor here, before the snow covers all the garden.
-
A few images I took over the wk, taken in the woods so of course the foliage is not very tidy but still...
Hepatica americana - the marbling of the foliage in the wild is as varied as the flower colours.
[attach=1]
[attach=2]
-
Hepatica acutiloba also has forms with good fall-winter foliage. This is an older image of a pink flower form just starting to intensify in colour.
[attach=1]
-
Great foliage - every one a gem, really.
-
I rarely see much variegation in wild hepatica foliage here in Minnesota. This often shows up in fall, but I wouldn't call it variegation. Pic take in mid April in zone 4.

Hepatica acutiloba with white flowers usually maintains a green, plain foliage here too - last week image:
[attachimg=1]
Maybe there is some correlation between the colour of the flowers and leaf 'variegation'? Only in the pink form I saw these kind of foliage (old foliage)
[attachimg=2]
-
I love the winter foliage of the American Hepaticas. Here I went to the woods to see if there were any difference in the foliage, but most of them were just green. I found one plant with very slight lighter spots in the green, but nothing special.

Not all americanas :) are getting marbled foliage; mostly the ones on sun exposed slopes. But probably depends on the individuals too. This year I collected seeds and kept them/sowed separate from various a bit more 'particular' clumps. Coincidence makes it that seeds from the marbled H. americana - photo foliage, have germinated without any cold period - first time I've seen this in Hepatica!

Always something to puzzle us, with plants, isn't there? No wonder they are so very interesting!
-
here 2 raised from seed, they will be better when fully open
-
very nice, are they H.japonica seedlings?
-
it are H.japonica seedlings, the mother is a semi double one and the pollen came from a double with some pollen between the flower, I look if I can show the flowers
-
here 2 doubles with some pollen
-
and sometimes it is easier, here H.jap.'Imaizumi', this plant gives single and double flowers and the pollen having a lot of double blood

Exciting seedlings, Chris!

I have been called colour blind before and I don't mind ;D I only agree I should have said deep purple (but still not blue for me :)
By any other colour...a most spendid Hepatica!
-
Colour descriptions and perceptions are as individual as scents, I think! :D ;D
We're all agreed on how lovely the flower is, that's unanimous!
-
Wonderful pictures thank you all and some very useful information we hope our Hepaticas will awaken soon monsoon rain with hailstones today.

Perfectly purple!!

Thanks a lot, I felt a pinch in my heart! Is there any chance you would share few seeds next year?
I am open to anything - buying, trading for other seeds...I collect H. americana in many blue shades, there is also a form with extra petals if you would like to use it for breeding.
-
2015 was a good year for Hepatica, many flowers and a long flowering season. Also a good year for hybridization/cross and also this year I got a few with filled flowers between my nobilis seedlings. Look forward to the season 2016 and it look to be good, already a few with flowers. Some picture from 2015. The seedling is one of my own nobilis.
-
Some other from 2015. For example my own cross: transsilvanica x yumatutai marble leaf and a seedling (x 63-14).
-
very nice Karl, particularly like the Borgholm one.
-
It's so exciting to see your own crosses, Karl and Gunda. The marbled leaves of transsilvanica x yamatutai are very nice. Wouldn't it be just perfect if they also have the beautiful purple colour of yamatutai on the reverse side ? I think I can spot that they have :).
-
Yes it have the purple colour.
